Cape Town musicians guide a journey to the beat at the heart of the Mother City and a primal rhythm named Goema. With indigenous Khoi-San roots, colonial influences and shaped by the city's slave history, Goema's blueprint lies in Cape Town's carnival culture. It is from these annual festivities that new and exciting variations have emerged. These include defiant Rock sounds from the 1980s that overcame barriers imposed by Apartheid as well as healing Jazz sounds in the wake of the country's democratic rebirth. Despite this, Goema has yet to fulfill its potential to unite a city and evoke collective pride. It remains a word that is misunderstood and in the process of discovering itself as the common denominator of a culture defined by diversity. Mama Goema charts the evolution of Goema through composer Mac McKenzie and multi-instrumentalist Hilton Schilder. Having traced the course of Goema's history, we see it take a bold step into the future. Mama Goema will be screened at the Labia in Gardens on Sun 4 Dec 2011.]]> Wed, 30 Nov 2011 17:11:44 GMT http://www.theartsmag.com/galleries/video-gallery/viewvideo/428/film-a-animation/mama-goema--the-cape-town-beat-in-five-movements--trailer.html  Khadija Tracey Heeger talks about poetry and her journey with some live performance included.]]> Mon, 21 Nov 2011 12:54:01 GMT http://www.theartsmag.com/galleries/video-gallery/viewvideo/426/poetry/khadija-tracey-carmelita-heeger-performance-poet.html  A few minutes in the rehearsal room with Mac McKenzie's Goema Quintet working on the Mac's Table Bay Concerto in G Major to be performed by the Cape Town Goema Orchestra.
